I purchased a motor home lot in Palm Springs in 2007. I could not qualify for the loan, because of dropping home equity. Do I lose my down payment?

Hi Gerald,
You should get your good faith deposit back.
What are the conditions on your purchase contract?
Talk to your agent.
If you were in escrow you might have to pay some fees.
If you didn't open escrow, you get your good faith deposit back.
